Israel 1 - 2 Cyprus : Israel see automatic qualification for Euro 2016 hopes ended by Cyprus loss
Posted Wednesday, October 14, 2015 by PA
Israel's chances of qualifying automatically for the Euro 2016 finals were dashed by a 2-1 home loss to Cyprus.
Wales were beaten 2-0 by Bosnia-Herzegovina but Belgium defeated Andorra and Walsall defender Jason Demetriou struck an 80th-minute winner for Cyprus to ensure Israel missed out on a top-two finish in Group B.
Dossa Junior headed the Cypriots ahead just before the hour from Vincent Laban's free-kick, but that goal was cancelled out with 14 minutes to go by Nir Bitton's fantastic leveller from range.
Not even a draw could keep Israel's automatic chances alive, though, and they slipped one point behind Bosnia-Herzegovina in the race for third too when Demetriou rifled in from close range.
